Sometimes I like to play around with recipes and find ways to make them a little more healthy and contain a little less calories.  These had a great taste but a weird texture so I need to do a little  more experimenting.  I think it might have been the almond flour but I’m not positive.

1 cup flour, I tried almond flour

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 cup low fat yogurt

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/2 cup egg whites

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

1  Preheat oven to 375.  Line muffin pan with paper liners.

2  Whisk together flour, cocoa, and baking powder in a large bowl.

3  In another bowl, whisk together yogurt, applesauce, egg whites, vanilla, and maple syrup.

4  Stir wet ingredients into the dry just until combined then fold in chocolate chips.

5  Bake for 15 – 20 minutes.
